Why Choose My Piano Lessons?
Whether you're looking for private piano lessons in Brighton & Hove for yourself or your child, my goal is to make every lesson enjoyable, inspiring and tailored to the individual.
Nearly 20 Years of Piano Teaching Experience
Teaching children, teenagers and adults since 2006, with lessons tailored to every student's age, personality, goals and learning style.
Proven Student Success
Several of my students have been awarded music scholarships and gone on to study at university music departments and conservatoires. My students also consistently achieve excellent ABRSM results, with many being awarded Merit and Distinction.
Classical Training with Creativity & Composition
While my own education was rooted in classical piano, I don't believe every student should follow exactly the same path.
Alongside developing strong technique and musicianship, I encourage students to develop their creativity through:
- Improvisation
- Composition
- Ear training
- Film and soundtrack music
- Pop and contemporary repertoire
- Jazz and blues
I believe these skills help students become confident, expressive musicians rather than simply learning to play from sheet music.
Professional Conservatory Education
I began learning the piano at an early age and was accepted into Hacettepe University Ankara State Conservatory at the age of 11—one of Turkey's leading performing arts institutions, offering specialist professional training in classical music.
During six years of intensive classical piano education, practising four to six hours a day became part of everyday life (my family probably heard enough scales to last a lifetime!). Those years gave me a strong technical foundation, disciplined practice habits and a deep understanding of music that continue to shape my teaching today.

My Teaching Philosophy
I believe there is no single "right" way to learn the piano.
Strong classical foundations provide students with confidence, excellent technique and musical understanding, while creativity helps students develop their own musical voice.
Whether your goal is to play your favourite songs, improve your technique, prepare for exams or simply enjoy making music, lessons are always adapted to suit your individual goals, interests and learning style.
Above all, I want every student to leave each lesson feeling more confident, motivated and excited to sit down at the piano again.
